Title: Method and apparatus for encoding/decoding image
Inventor: BAE KEUN LEE
IPC: H04N19/60
Filed: 2012-10-17
Abstract: A method for decoding an image comprising obtaining prediction samples and residual coefficients for a current block and inverse quantizing the residual coefficients. A transform skip mode is determined from transform skip mode candidates based on information specifying a transform skip mode, the information being signaled for each of a luminance component and a chrominance component. The transform bypass mode candidates include at least one of a 2D transform 310, a vertical transform 330, a horizontal transform 320 or a non-transform 340. Residual samples are obtained by selectively applying a transform to the inverse quantized residual coefficients based on the determined transform skip mode and a block is reconstructed based on the residual samples and the prediction samples. The transform mode may be selected based on an intra-prediction mode used for the block. When the transform skip mode is for no transform the residual samples may be obtained by scaling the inverse quantized coefficients.
